  • Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing Writing Assignment Each student

    Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing Writing Assignment
    Each student

    Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing Writing Assignment
    Each student will complete an 800- to 1000-word scholarly paper (not including Title and References pages) presenting an evidence-based case for what they determine as two best strategies towards Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing. The paper is to focus on suggested themes, presented appropriately with APA headings for a Student Scholarly Paper. Proper use of headings will help to organize the paper and reinforce consistency for the reader. (Refer to pages 47-49, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th Edition for formatting levels of headings.)
    Students are expected to address themes by applying concepts and analytical understanding gained in a literature search of current and acceptable journal articles, videos or research, and any assigned course readings. A minimum of five references should be used. Three of these sources should be from peer-reviewed articles. See Rubric Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing: A Writing Assignment for complete grading criteria.
    To help organize the paper, focus on the following:
    1) Introduction
    Examine sustainable and economical strategies to develop professional environments that enhance nursing excellence and promote patient-centered care. Discuss the circumstances that contribute to unhealthy (nursing) work environments. Include current challenges faced by nurses and choose two viable strategies / opportunities for creating a supportive working environment that retains nurses while promoting safe, high-quality care.
    2) State your first strategy or opportunity for creating an environment of nursing excellence.
    Explain the reason you feel this is a second sustainable and economical strategy to develop professional environments that enhance nursing excellence and promote patient-centered care. Backed by evidence, present the benefits of this strategy. Consider any potential threats to your specific strategy and present realistic, yet creative solutions to possible barriers. Make certain, of course, to cite and credit your sources.
    3) State your second strategy or opportunity for creating an environment of nursing excellence.
    Explain the reason you feel this second strategy is a sustainable and economical strategy to develop professional environments that enhance nursing excellence and promote patient-centered care. Backed by evidence, present the benefits of this strategy. Consider any potential threats to your specific strategy and present realistic, yet creative solutions to possible barriers. Make certain, of course, to cite and credit your sources.
    4) Summary or Conclusion
    Present your final statement /conclusion in a way that summarizes content while, at the same time, leaves the reader with a positive, lasting impression. Make your best effort to avoid a ‘copy and paste’ approach to the summary. By posing a question or delivering a thought-provoking final statement, the reader will remain engaged and (ideally!) interested enough in your topic to research and explore further…they may even be prompted to take action!

    What do you see as possible potential pitfalls of using pediatric or an adult do

    What do you see as possible potential pitfalls of using pediatric or an adult dosing guide for calculating neonatal doses? Base your response on your knowledge of both the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) principles as it relates to our neonatal patients.
    It is our hope that this exercise will highlight how changes in body composition and physiologic development, when combined with a drug’s kinetic properties, may alter the selection of certain drugs for therapy due to safety concerns. The scope of pharmacokinetics is complex.
    Due to the nature of this course, you will be comparing the neonate’s physiology to a healthy adult, but please realize that changes in body composition and chemistry varies from person to person. Even within the same age demographic, there may alterations and a decision needs to be assessed to whether a medication is suitable for therapy. Please use the table below to format your responses. You may upload the table as your group post. Good luck and we hope you enjoy this exercise!
    First group post due no later than FRIDAY, 1/31 by 5 PM and FINAL posts due Sunday, 2/2 at 8 AM EST.

    -what are your chief objectives in applying how
    – how do you think Rivier University’s graduate program will help you in the pursuit of your objectives
    I am a registered nurse. I have been a registered nurse since 2019. I first received my ASN. Wasn’t sure if I was going to like nursing. But once I started in the field I fell in love with it. I soon perused my BSN. I started working in a rehab. I was quickly promoted to a charge nurse. And then briefly assisted with ADON responsibilities during Covid. I helped implement protocols during Covid. During Covid I decided I wanted to help communities that needed it and started working in a Med Surg unit. Where I was also a charge nurse. Most recently I work in an ICU/CCU unit. Taking care of ECMO patients, ballon pumps, CVVH etc. I have decided to presume my NP mainly because my husband is a doctor and we are always learning new things together. Some of our vacations are medical conferences. My father has also recently passed away. His experience has helped me to experience healthcare from a patients point of view and I am eager to provide excellent and compassionate care. I have always enjoyed following a patient and their story and would like to work in an office as their primary provider. I love helping patients and their families. I was recently awarded a Daisy award.
    Rivier is a good choice for me because it is online. I have twin toddlers. I do not have alot of help it is just myself and my husband. He works all being a doctor and his family live in India. I have several coworkers that have gone to Rivier and have all told me how great of an experience it was.

    Words of Wisdom for the Week 5 Assignment
    • This is an individual assignment (each student will complete his or her own assignment and submit).
    • Research evidence can be a QUALitative or QUANtitative research article. Please note: While a systematic review of the literature with a meta-analysis is considered research, I strongly (and I cannot emphasize this enough) encourage you to NOT select this for your research evidence. If you do you will struggle with future assignments and will not be able to change your article selection, so please take this into consideration as I am trying to set you up for success.
    • Non-research evidence can be a systematic/integrative/narrative review of the literature (not a systematic review with meta-analysis), a clinical practice guideline, or anything that is not research.
    • No two students can have the same article (research or non-research) so it may be advantageous to work within your group to ensure this does not occur (if it does you will have to determine who will select a new article to complete).
    • Make sure to review your APA manual for the appropriate formatting of your paper and references. This is a requirement for the graduate school and (take it from me because I lived it) when you submit your final project for graduation you will not be able to graduate until everything is correct!
    I just need someone to go over what I have done and make sure the article I chose will work, I have used the article correctly in filling out information including that it is considered a quantitative research study, correct level has been chosen, and my response to the answers are correct. Make sure I have not messed something up or am missing something.

    4) Considering the discussion on reliability in Spath chapter 9 and exhibit 9.2 on page 235, propose process changes that could be implemented to achieve:
    80-90 percent reliability,
    95 percent reliability,
    99.5 percent reliability.
